"Welcome back, Kuroda" has already been used; heck, we ran this pun back in July 2008. So here we are now, evoking new pun-stimulated groans, hoping that the one-year, $12M offer by the Dodgers is accepted by Hiroki Kuroda, a Dodger whose grittiness over a three-year tenure has been appreciated. Couple that with Kuroda's durability in the 2010 season (his prior two seasons had injury stints, but in 2010 he was solid), and we're hoping to see him back in Dodger Blue next year.

As of 6:55p on 11/15, the Dodgers website says the deal is still close but not inked. Let's hope Hiroki had better be home (in Chavez Ravine, that is), soon.

Note: Make sure to check out the angry birds moment at 2:10. Ahead of their time, those Finns were.

UPDATE 7:05p: Whoops, Dylan Hernandez tweeted in the last hour that the deal is signed. That's something so strong, indeed.
